Ah well, history is history, once it's happened. WWII or Woodstock, it's all past now. Mini Hendrix primer: leading edge guitar god, worshiped by his peers (Townshend and Beck among them), often tripping on psychedelic drugs, with an affinity for naming songs things like Gypsy Woman, Spanish Castle Magic, Purple Haze, Stone Free, and of course, Voodoo Chile. Can you see why Dru might have keyed into his headspace? Died in 1970 at 26 (27?). There's more, of course, but that's about what I had before doing the research.

I think Spike stoned would've been brilliant and sweet and open, which is why he would absolutely HATE it once he came down. Heh. Not that I have any, you know, distant experience with such things. Not at all. *cough*
